Update: the quiet has now since been broken. Protesters can be seen marching through campus bringing their voices together to call for an end to the financial crises hindering students.

Some have also disrupted the few classes still taking place physically on campus

Hey Bluesky, today was another blue sky from Cape Town, earlier this morning (as you can see in the background)

Hi Bluesky, today I went hiking with my university's MSA in Newlands, climbing up the slopes of Devil's Peak to eventually reach the Newlands Picnic Table.

My legs feel like jelly and my lungs are traumatized and my feet are still on fire.

Anyway, here's the few pics I took, featuring a blue sky
